Pros

Nothing positive to say but they lure you in with money and words

Cons

- Delusional & arrogant leadership from Directors and Managing Directors - They secretly plot about employees behind closed doors and I've been in meetings where they talk about people they want to leave the company - They have no empathy for other people and no self-awareness (some therapy might do them good at fostering kindness) - They don't stand up to client demands and act as actual consultants leading to clients bullying the team - Financially they're struggling so they pile the pressure on the rest of the staff - They pay lip service to being "people oriented" and smiley; but behind that are lies and deceit, masking selfishness, a lack of empathy and toxic leadership from Directors and the MD.

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
